Nerve and muscle interface for amputees

[Further]

DARPA's research into making limbs innervated so that the amputee can actually feel what's happening to the limb and respond accordingly. Basically, a few years away from replaced limbs being just as good (or better) than original limbs.

DARPA’s breakthrough research with advanced prosthetic limbs controlled by brain interfaces is well documented, but such research is currently limited to quadriplegics; practical applications of brain interfaces for amputees are still in the future. In contrast, nerve and muscle interfaces allow amputees to control advanced prosthetics in the near term. Recent demonstrations may give Wounded Warriors hope that they can soon take advantage of these breakthroughs.

Cool stuff for sure
